Sara Levitt, whose story we unravel in this episode, opens up about her life with an ostomy. She was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at a very young age, a condition that led her down a path filled with medical challenges and personal trials. Her journey is not just a tale of physical endurance, but also one of psychological strength and social adaptation.

Sara's story begins with her grappling with the complexities of her condition as a child. Facing surgeries and the stigma associated with an ostomy, she navigated through her teenage years tackling not just health issues, but also the challenges of growing up feeling different. Her candid recounting of these experiences is not just enlightening but deeply touching.

One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is when Sara discusses how she found herself in the spotlight on social media. This unexpected turn brought both challenges and opportunities, allowing her to reach out and connect with others sharing similar experiences. Sara's insights on how she used her platform to break down stigmas and build a supportive community are truly inspiring.
